Chapter 35

Beatrice picked at her clean fingertips, which was now pale. With her head lowered, she stared at the string of digits on her phone screen until it went blank, but her calls were not answered.

As her anxiety persisted, she bit her bottom lip until the shape of her beautiful lips changed while her cold pale face appeared frail.

This is the first time Joaquin missed my call.

Is it because of the woman Ian mentioned?

Who exactly is she?

For the first time in her life, she was panicking as she felt things were going out of control.

Why did something like this happen now after five years?

Feeling irritated, she decided it was time to ring him again.

This time, the call was answered quickly. The man's low and cold voice came through the phone, which had been softened significantly by the audio transmission. Beatrice's heart raced a little as she heard the indescribable bass and gentleness in his voice.

"Why didn't you answer my call earlier?" she muttered, feeling wronged and dissatisfied.

Joaquin glanced at the sleeping Katherine, whose cold expression softened under the dim light. Instead of appearing as icy as she had been in the past, her face appeared more tender.

Hearing Beatrice's complaint, he pursed his lips and gently replied, "I was busy. What happened? Who made you upset, hm?"

Beatrice's heart calmed a little when she heard his familiar tone and the unease she harbored was gone.

"I get nervous when I can't reach you. Joaquin, let's…"
